Today, we\u2019re proud\u202fto announce the Local Process with Kubernetes preview feature in Visual Studio 2019 16.7 Preview 2.<\/span>\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u202f<\/span>Local Process with Kubernetes allows you to write, test and debug your\u202f.NET\u202fmicroservice code on your development workstation while connected to your Kubernetes cluster with the rest of your application or services.\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n

Develop Microservice Apps Faster\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A typical developer workflow for developing microservice applications that target Kubernetes involves modifying code, building a container image and deploying that image to a Kubernetes cluster.\u202f All this\u202fis necessary\u202fto see the changes manifest. The complexity of this workflow many times a day impedes developers\u2019 ability to perform the core of the inner loop tasks.\u202fHowever, this\u202fprocess\u202fcan be\u202fgreatly simplified.<\/span>\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Local Process with Kubernetes extends the Kubernetes perimeter to your development workstation, allowing you to sidestep the operational complexities of\u202fbuilding and\u202fsyncing your code into the cluster to test, debug and rapidly iterate.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u202f\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n

With this workflow, there\u202fis no need for extra assets, such as a\u202f<\/span>Dockerfile<\/span>\u202for Kubernetes manifests.\u202fYou can simply\u202frun\u202fyour code natively on your development workstation while connected to the Kubernetes cluster, allowing\u202fyou to test your code changes in the context of the larger application.<\/span>\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Simplifying\u202fMicroservice\u202fDevelopment\u202f\u202f \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Microservice applications are comprised of many\u202fservices, often calling each other.\u202f Each service\u202fhas\u202fits own configuration\u202fand dependencies,\u202fmaking running the application locally\u202ftime consuming and complex<\/span>.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By using Local Process with Kubernetes to connect your development workstation to your Kubernetes cluster, you eliminate the need to manually<\/span>\u202f<\/span>source,\u202fconfigure\u202fand compile\u202fexternal dependencies on your development\u202fworkstation<\/span>.<\/span>\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, environment variables, connection strings and volumes from the cluster are\u202finherited by\u202fyour microservice code running locally.\u202f<\/span>\u202f\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n

Easy\u202fDebugging\u202f\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Integrated into the Visual Studio development environment as an additional Debug Profile, Local Process with Kubernetes creates the connection to your Kubernetes cluster to allow an easy F5 debug experience.\u202f\u202fBy running your usual debug profile with the added cluster configuration, you can\u202fdebug your\u202fcode as you normally would\u202fwhile taking advantage\u202fof the speed and flexibility of local debugging.<\/span>\n<\/span><\/p>\n
